W. N. Pugin created this design for a wallpaper for the Palace of Westminster but it was never produced as a finished printed paper. He used bright primary colours and simple regular repeat patterns in his wallpapers, which is clearly visible here. This design is very clearly drawn to show one repeat of the pattern.<br><br><b>Place</b><br>Pugin was in charge of decorative furnishings for the Houses of Parliament in London, known at the time as the New Palace of Westminster.  This is the design for one of over 100 wallpapers that Pugin created for the Houses of Parliament. It was part of a group of papers that introduced badges and symbols connected with the history of the building. The white hart or stag was the badge of Richard II and the gold cross and birds on a blue background was the emblem associated with Edward the Confessor. The stag and the 'R' were used in designs for tiles for the lobby between Westminster Hall and the Members' Entrance.<br><br><b>Design & Designing</b><br>Pugin's many wallpapers were important and influenced other wallpaper designers at the time. This design is typical of  Pugin's designs in its use of heraldic emblems. Where possible Pugin used elements he found in original medieval designs. Although this paper was never produced, the design was probably adapted by Pugin for another wallpaper.","physicalDescription":"Full-size design for wallpaper incorporating the badges of Richard II with a white hart ducally gorged and chained or, the arms of Edward the Confessor and the initial R set between two seed pods. The badges are connected by a decorative framework of ogee stems and leaves.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"A.W.N.
